I'll look into a toggle.

I just updated the front market overview to read a 7 day percentage change. As time goes on it will form more. It's pretty fun to watch update live.

im seeing lows. you should use mid or have a toggle. low can cause problems when sellers list HP/Damaged cards

Low only uses SP or NM. TCG Player Mid is the worst metric that you can use to price cards. 90%+ of the values they use are cards priced so high that no one will ever buy them. When they value cards higher than SCG, you know something is wrong with their pricing. If TCG Player wanted to have a real price guide, they would base it on cards that actually sell on their website and not use fantasy prices of dealers.

If you could, you should list multiple prices, Apathyhouse, SCG, TCG Low even MKM. The more data you can provide, the better your site will be. Why should someone use your site, when they can just as easily go to the site of their choice? If you provide more information, they will have a reason to go to you first.

Thanks for the feedback rats!

I can use multiple price sources, but I need an API or a consistent way to scrap prices. I found motl's price list to be inconsistent with updates, so I turned it off. I can attempt to re-run it.

Do you know of other consistent sources?

I could use anything. SCG started encrypting their pricing when they caught us scrapers I cracked that, then they made it tougher. I don't have the time to keep up with it.

Side note.
I just added foil prices, they will start aggregating tomorrow.
Price history is now intact. In the next weeks history graphs for foil and low prices will show. I might be able to compare them to events if there is an RSS feed for it.

I'm making mobile responsive next.
